I have just bought a used Sorento XE 2.5 , no matter how carefully I drive it I find that I cannot get better thhan 30 mpg.
HAs anyone manage to get the 43 mpg quoted in the spec for this car ?
I've had my 4-speed CRDI for about 18 months, and done just over 20k miles.
It was a bit thirsty for the first month or so, but I now get about 35 mpg on long runs.

I even get 28 mpg when towing a ton of caravan behind it.

I think that's pretty good - but it does drop off quite a bit if I get carried away and put my foot down!
